Junkosha develops fluoropolymer application technologies across medical device and microwave interconnect sectors, and runs an international program designed to show achievements in these sectors. This year Junkosha selected Thintronics as the Microwave/Millimeter wave category winner.
California-based electronic materials startup, Thintronics, won the award for its suite of isotropic, skew-free, low loss, low-Dk dielectric materials that act as next-generation insulation layers across the interconnect stack. These materials are engineered to reduce dielectric loss, suppress signal degradation and improve power efficiency in high-frequency data channels where conventional polymers and laminates are increasingly hitting performance ceilings.
In practice, this dielectric technology acts as a high-performance electrical insulation layer embedded across boards, packages and semiconductor interconnect structures. By reducing signal loss and energy use, Thintronics’ materials aim to address one of the biggest sources of power consumption in modern AI and large-scale data centres.
“The Junkosha award recognizes innovators whose technologies have the potential to make a meaningful impact on both industry and society,” said Joe Rowan, Chairperson of the Award. “As demand for AI infrastructure and data processing continues to grow, Thintronics’ approach demonstrates the kind of next generation innovators that this Award was created to enable.”
Junkosha is a Japanese company with global operations.
